When it comes to XtraDB va XtraDB plugin, I expect about the same. While left unconfigured, the two may or may not be the same or one be better than the other. Yet, you cannot get the most out of InnoDB or XtraDB unless you configure it to be.

Hey, Rolando, geeks will love your links. But the guys trying to bring up a system need a quick list of what to set. Granted, it may have to be formulas based on #cpus or RAM size (like 70% of RAM for buffer_pool). Can you provide a single cookbook page?

You win. I misread the question. MySQL+XtraDB should mostly equal MariaDB, since they both contain XtraDB. But... MariaDB 5.5.23 has numerous new optimizations (relative to MySQL).
